Abigail’s Second Life (Abigail and Sean)
Chapter 171

Chapter 171 She Seems to Like You a Lot

As their morning run was about to conclude, Eric suddenly asked Abigail, "Did your grandparents ever tell you about your parents?"

"No. They probably didn't want to make me sad, so they never talked about it. I didn't ask either. It's fine this way," she replied while breathing lightly. He nodded.

When she returned to the hotel lobby, Eric, who was outside, couldn't help but frown.

Could it be that as her cousin, Sean hadn't told her about her parents?

Sean was waiting for Abigail in the lobby. Through the glass, he saw Eric appearing contemplative outside.

As Abigail approached Sean, he asked, "You seem to have a lot to talk about with Eric. What did he say to you?"

"What does it matter to you? It's almost New Year's. Aren't you going home?" Abigail wiped her sweat with the towel that was hanging around her neck.

Her face was flushed and her neck was rosy.

Sean followed her into the elevator before leaning against the wall and looking at her seriously. "Eric didn't know you before, but suddenly, you've become close to him. Don't you replace that strange?" "What's so strange about it? Alana's designs are good, so it's normal for him to go through me to get his designs from Alana," she said as she glanced at him with a tilted head.

In reality, she was starting to feel a bit suspicious about Eric. She admitted that she wasn't particularly good at reading people and couldn't understand why Eric was so interested in her past.

However, Eric's intrusion into her affairs was not something that Sean could meddle in either.

"Abigail, why are you so obstinate?" Sean was a bit helpless.

"I'm not obstinate. Stay out of my business," Abigail said with a cold face.

Sean looked at her firmly. "As long as we're not divorced, we're still husband and wife. I don't like how close you've become with Eric."

Abigail sneered but didn't say anything.

Her sarcasm was evident.

Sean didn't let it bother him. He had grown used to her attitude.

During breakfast, Sean received a call from home.

Colby wanted to talk to Abigail, so Sean handed his phone to her.

"Grandpa." Abigail greeted Colby warmly while holding a dumpling.

"You're not coming home for New Year's?" Colby's voice was full of affection.

Abigail's voice carried a hint of regret. "Yeah. It was agreed upon with the crew that we wouldn't go home for New Year's. Even well-known actors aren't going home, so how could I request special treatment?"

In previous years, they always spent New Year's together, even if they didn't get along well.

He sighed. "All right. Integrity is essential in your line of work. Remember to eat well while you're out, and don't endure any hardships. If you need money, just ask that brat Sean."

"I don't need it," she replied.

Sean leaned in and listened to the conversation. He looked at Abigail and raised an eyebrow, to which she pushed him away.

After chatting with Colby for a while, she handed the phone back to Sean.

Sean was currently speaking with Cornelie. He looked at Abigail and said, "I'll come back to accompany you for the New Year's Eve dinner."

He had decided to return home just like that.

Abigail texted Analise every day, so there was no need to make a phone call.

As New Year's approached, the atmosphere on the set became increasingly festive.

Eswadian naturally had a genetic predisposition for liking festivals and enjoying lively occasions.

On the day before New Year's Eve, Sean returned home.

While Eric was video chatting with his family on his phone, he passed by the set and introduced Lewis to his grandmother. "This is Director Lewis, who has been very good to me." Lewis felt a bit awkward, as even someone like Eric had received quite a bit of scolding from him when Eric wasn't performing well on set.

With a somewhat forced smile, Lewis waved at the woman in red on the phone screen and said,

"Hello, Madam."

"Hello. Happy New Year," the elderly woman on the other end of the video replied with a smile.

Abigail and Josie had planned to go shopping in the nearby stores and walked past Eric while he was video chatting.

Eric immediately called out to them. "Josic, Miss Quinn, come here."

Josie, who was startled by Eric's call, quickly stopped.

Abigail looked at Eric. The cellphone camera was perfectly positioned to capture her naturally beautiful face.

The elderly person on the other end of the camera looked at Abigail with surprise.

Abigail smiled at Eric and asked gently. "What's the matter?"

"Come and say hello to my grandmother." He smiled and said to Abigail and Josie.

Josie then quickly pulled Abigail over to stand in front of Eric's phone. The elderly woman greeted Josie first with a smile and then turned her gaze to Abigail. "Miss Quinn, Happy New Year!" The elderly woman looked at Abigail with a hint of astonishment. She tried to restrain her excitement as she carefully examined Abigail. Abigail responded with a smile. "Happy New Year, Madam."

"Happy New Year!" The elderly person smiled instantly.

Josie felt that Eric's grandmother seemed to really like Abigail. She found it strange but didn't think too much about it.

Eric introduced Abigail to his grandmother through the video call. "Her name is Abigail Quinn."

"Such a lovely name," Maisy Walsh said with gentle eyes.

After greeting Maisy, Abigail left with Josie.

Eric held his phone and looked at his grandmother. His eyes were filled with excitement.

"Eric, do you think... she might be from the Pearsons?" Maisy asked with tears in her eyes in the video call.

"I haven't found any useful information yet, Grandma. Don't worry, I will soon." Eric reassured her, and she nodded repeatedly.
